Wandering in knowledge. Inclusive spaces for culture in an age of global nomadism

Today identity and diversity mark our global context on a daily basis. We live in an age that might be defined by the movement of people, of information, of knowledge. No longer exclusively devoted to contemplating art, or isolated places for reflection and intellectual analysis, museums and libraries have become open places where people meet and exchange ideas, contact zones of contemporary culture. In order to outline possible future scenarios about architectural inclusivity, the book explores how they have become physical nodes where identity and diversity come into contact. Inclusive Interiors is a series of studies that attempts to build the foundations of an adaptable environment, which may meet the need of intercultural dialogue determined by the current phenomena of transnational migration. In doing that, it aims at outlining the most relevant architectural experimentations on collective interiors, in order to highlight the most innovative strategies and tools of "inclusive design" in this regard. For this reason, it collects multidisciplinary critical contributions focusing on the new spaces and architectures that respond to the change of the social sphere in a society marked by the intensification of the mobility of people as well as information.
